Stream All People Learn Forget Repeat (Stereogum Premiere)
Since its foundation in 2008, Community Records has been largely responsible for the dissemination of guitar-driven independent rock music coming out of New Orleans. Pope, Native America, and Caddywhompus, all which are made up of dudes well under the age of 30, are just a few examples of bands on the label’s roster who made stains in insular DIY circles on a national scale back in 2014. Community Records co-founders Greg Rodrigue and Daniel “D-Ray” Ray play in All People, who are slated to release their sophomore album next week. Learn Forget Repeat is an inventive post-punk record that manages to avoid the genre’s patented towering, sinister instrumentals, and instead leaves room for all of the sonic possibilities in-between. All People’s various points of reference aren’t always obvious and their new record is a collage of arrangements as diverse as the city that bore them. Stream Learn Forget Repeat below.
